The purpose of this article is to provide insight about the conditions in which government employees are more likely to engage in voice to improve performance of their organization. In this effort, the current research examines the direct and interactive effects of ethical leadership and perceptions of personal control on improvement-centered voice among government employees. These relationships are examined with data that were collected through two separate surveys from 477 employees and 161 managers working in a large state agency. The results indicate that ethical leadership and personal control, after controlling for employee characteristics, job satisfaction, procedural fairness, and performance monitoring, are related positively with supervisor ratings of subordinate voice behavior. The results also show that the effect of ethical leadership on voice becomes significantly stronger when employees perceive that they have higher levels of discretion over work behaviors and influence on decisions in their workgroup. Implications of these findings for research and practice are discussed
